Title: Improvements in and relating to the Purification of Nitro Bodies.
Inventor: SILBERRAD OSWALD
IPC: C07C201/16
Filed: 1912-01-10
Granted: 1912-09-26
Abstract: 799. Silberrad, O. Jan. 10. Nitro compounds.-Nitration products are purified by agitating for some time with a warm solution of alkali hydrate, carbonate, or bicarbonate, or mixtures thereof. The nitro compound is separated, washed, and heated under a reflux condenser for some time, together with a large quantity of water containing marble, chalk, dolomite, magnesia, or other alkaline earth hydrate or carbonate or difficultly soluble body which will combine with the nitrous acid produced by decomposition of any unstable bodies present. The preliminary treatment with alkali may be dispensed with. The process may be applied to nitrated solvent naphtha, burning naphtha, or coal tar products such as are described in Specification 13,861/11.

Granted: 1913-10-16
Abstract: 7693. Szasz, E. April 15, 1912, [Convention date]. Testing and estimating. - A rapid method of estimating the carbon content of iron, steel, or alloys of iron, for the purpose of controlling the manufacture, consists in heating a comminuted sample of the metal in a combustion space of small internal volume filled with oxygen, without admitting oxygen at first, and afterwards only so fast as it is absorbed, and finally washing out the carbon dioxide formed by means of oxygen to a gas burette for estimation in the usual manner. In one form, the apparatus consists of a platinum combustion chamber A, Fig. 2, the volume of which is reduced by a plug C carried by the stopper D. A boat S holds the sample, and oxygen is supplied through a purifier and liquid seal to a branch F<1>. The gases from the chamber escape by a pipe B, and are passed over glowing copper oxide in a capillary tube and afterwards cooled before entering the gasburette. The parts adjacent to the stopper of the combustion apparatus are water-cooled. In some cases, it is desirable to construct the apparatus of quartz glass or porcelain, and an example of this construction comprises outer and inner shells A', B<1>, Fig. 4, and a plug C<1>. The carbon dioxide may be estimated gravimetrically.
